"The purpose of the Worldshaper's Relic in this competition is simple," AlyxAtlas began to speak. "When two students are picked to have a match, one of them is selected to transform the battlefield into anything of their choosing," she explained with a smile.
At these words, some of the students immediately frowned as they understood that, while it might not mean much, this could be disadvantageous for some people. Imagine Teo fighting a student who possessed Fire Affinity; they could simply choose a battlefield that was a literal ocean, then throughout the fight, rely solely on their Water and Wind Affinities.
But did they complain? Certainly not. They all understood that this was simply how battlefields worked. During a life-or-death match, no one chose the terrain. It could be advantageous to the enemy, advantageous to them, or advantageous to nobody at all. But at the end of the day, it didn't exactly matter. All they had to do was adapt and win.
